Active Adventure

Founded in 1990 Icarus Bungee has the experience to run a safe and efficient operation, we have a perfect safety record with no accidents or injuries.

Icarus Bungee coordinates bungee jumping within a five hour drive of the San Francisco bay area. A bungee jumping expedition includes instruction, equipment and supervision of the jumps from different bridge sites located in Northern California.

Typical Day

There are 15 different bridges in Northern California that Icarus Bungee jumps from.

The bridge locations are within a five hour drive of San Francisco. Be prepared to drive the maximum distance. (The closest bridge to San Francisco is 2 1/2 hours drive.)

Locations vary because of changing conditions. Roads are affected by river & lake flooding, severe weather, mudslides, landslides, snow, forest fires, logging & mining operations. Because conditions can change rapidly (especially during winter months), the location will not be selected until the Wednesday before the jump.

The heights vary from a minimum of 120' (36 m) to 220' (70 m)Due to wet or dry years some bridges are not available every year.

Jumping Days: Icarus Bungee will book individuals and groups for jumping on scheduled expeditions. There will be at least one scheduled expedition per Month. Jumps will be executed in the very early morning or on the rare occasional evening. To reserve a place on an expedition call (510) 521-JUMP.

Directions to the location will be sent to the organizer the Wednesday evening before the scheduled jump. Bridge locations are a carefully guarded trade secret. Please be discrete about giving the location to anyone.
